Harry Kane could have some regrets about lifting his first career silverware away from Tottenham.
This is according to former Tottenham defender Steven Caulker, who suggested Kane will wish he was part of the club’s Europa League-winning celebrations.
Spurs picked up their first European trophy since 1984 with their Europa League triumphGettySpurs ended their 17-year wait for a major trophy with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao, while Kane won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich to land his first ever major honours.
A goal claimed by Brennan Johnson on the stroke of half time was enough to give the north Londoners the perfect ending to a trying season.
Tottenham‘s first piece of silverware since the 2008 League Cup means they will now play in next season’s Champions League, despite currently sitting 17th in the Premier League table.
But there was perhaps a sense of injustice that Kane and Spurs celebrated an end to their respective trophy droughts separately.
Despite a glittering 14-year career with his boyhood club, the England skipper left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having fallen short of major success on several occasions.
Kane twice finished as runner-up in the League Cup, in 2015 and 2021, and as well as losing the Champions League final in 2019.
And while he may now have banished his personal trophy demons in Germany, former Spurs teammate Steven Caulker admitted it seemed harsh that their all-time record goalscorer wasn’t part of the European success.
Appearing on talkSPORT alongside Alex Brooker and Charlie Baker, the defender was asked if Kane would have any regrets over joining Bayern, and lifting his first trophy there, instead of with Tottenham.
To this, Caulker replied: “That’s a good question.
“I think it would have been nice for him to have done it at Spurs. And he deserved that because he’s been so good for so long.
“But it’s worked out the way it’s worked out. I’m just glad that he’s got his trophy because if he didn’t, you could imagine the stick he’d be getting now that Spurs have won it without him.

Despite not being part of Spurs’ success, Kane was quick to congratulate his former club on their triumph on social media.
Taking to Instagram, the Bayern goal machine reposted the north Londoners’ full-time winners’ graphic to his story, commenting: “Congratulations,” alongside a white heart emoji.
And he later delivered a touching video message to Tottenham, as he shared his delight at their achievement on his Cleats Club app.
Kane said: “Massive congratulations to Spurs. To all the boys, to the staff, I know how much it means to them.
“It’s been a long time coming and [I’m] just buzzing for everyone there. Buzzing for all the fans as well.

Kane continued: “European champions is a massive, massive achievement, so really proud, obviously for the boys I know well like Sonny and Ben, those boys who have been part of the journey for a long time, they deserve it.
“They deserve to have that moment they had last night, and over the next weeks as well.
“Massive congratulations to everyone involved – it was nerve-wracking watching it, but what an ending so I hope they enjoy it, I hope the fans enjoy it, make the most of it.
“And hopefully that’s the start of many more to come.”
